Pakistan pacer, Shaheen Afridi got married to the former Pakistan skipper Shahid Afridi’s daughter, Ansha Afridi in September 2023. The duo was blessed with a baby boy on August 24 amidst the pacer’s ongoing Test series for Pakistan against Bangladesh. The baby is named Aliyaar Afridi and Shahid was seen spending some quality time with his newly born grandson.

The veteran took to his social media and shared the grand welcome ceremony of the new family member. He was accompanied by his two daughters in a video that is going viral. On the work front, Shaheen had a forgetful outing in the first Test against Pakistan as he managed to pick just two wickets across two innings.

Here’s the video of Shahid Afridi with his grandson:

Pakistan continued their dismal run even in the red-ball cricket as they succumbed to Bangladesh in the Rawalpindi Test. The visitors experienced a batting collapse on Day 5 as the hosts registered their first Test win against Pakistan. Several critics have named the loss as the new low for Pakistan cricket as the Bangla Tigers won a Test against Pakistan after 14 attempts.

“(Playing with four fast bowlers) Look, I mean, never to make it an excuse, but it didn’t play the way we thought it would. Number one. Number two, there were also other factors in the game. Like we lost half a day in the first day. So then when it’s four and a half days or four days, you think that’s going to be the fast amend that, that do the bulk of the overs,” said Pakistan skipper, Shan Masood after the game.
